Software Project Manager
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 11, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 11, 2026.
At Orqa, we’re building technology that allows humans and machines to see the world like never before. We bring together engineers, creators, and innovators who push the boundaries of what’s possible - from cutting-edge FPV systems to advanced Remote Reality solutions, and toward the next generation of robotics. And behind every great technology, there’s great organization.
We’re looking for a Software Project Manager to join our software development group, which builds everything from customer-facing applications and simulators to web platforms and the internal systems that power our production and business operations.
In this role, you will take ownership of end-to-end planning and delivery across multiple concurrent projects. You’ll facilitate our agile cadences, structure day-to-day execution, and keep software roadmaps in tight synchronization with our fast-moving hardware milestones.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Manage multiple concurrent software projects across shared engineering capacity, setting clear priorities in close collaboration with stakeholders
Facilitate agile ceremonies (Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Backlog Refinement, Reviews, and Retrospectives) within 2-week sprint cycles
Own the team’s ClickUp workspace, maintaining well-defined tasks, acceptance criteria, accurate estimates, time tracking, dashboards, and roadmaps
Partner daily with Hardware Project Managers to align software sprints with hardware milestones (EVT/DVT/PVT) and assist in triaging hardware, firmware, and software dependencies
Capture requirements and orchestrate the testing, deployment, and rollout of internal platforms supporting production, HR, and company operations
Deliver transparent, metrics-driven updates covering delivery progress, risks, capacity constraints, and critical path items to executive leadership
WHAT WE EXPECT
3+ years of professional experience as a Software Project Manager, Delivery Manager, or Scrum Master in software development
Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or equivalent practical industry experience
Proven track record leading Scrum or Kanban workflows for software teams while managing multiple parallel project tracks
Solid technical literacy (SDLC, Git, CI/CD, APIs, web/mobile/desktop concepts) to engage in deep, meaningful discussions with engineers (coding is not required)
Advanced proficiency in ClickUp, Jira, or similar project management ecosystems, including board setup, dashboards, dependencies, and timeline views
Strong cross-functional communication and negotiation skills-bridging the gap between software developers, hardware engineers, and business stakeholders
Structured, data-driven approach to planning, risk management, and resource allocation
Full fluency in English (written and spoken); Croatian is an advantage
NICE TO HAVE
Professional experience in hardware-connected software, embedded platforms, or manufacturing environments
Recognized agile or project management credentials (PSM, CSM, PMP, IPMA)
Hands-on familiarity with internal enterprise systems (ERP, MES, HRIS)
